About this property
A delightful, 300-year old, stone-built terraced cottage, in the very heart of the pretty Dales village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, home of the famous Three Peaks, 6 miles from Settle. A delightful Three Peaks cottage, set across the road from one of the village's two traditional pubs, the cottage retains much original character, with wonderful beamed ceilings, a feature stone fireplace with warming multi fuel stove, and three cosy bedrooms, creating a very special atmosphere which exudes olde worlde charm. Outside this Three Peaks cottage, the spacious lawned garden is ideal for dining alfresco, and boasts a babbling brook and lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway line, which passes over the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct, is just a 5 minute walk from this Three Peaks cottage, whilst the market towns of Settle and Skipton are nearby. Various walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep on the Pennine Way and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, while the more energetic visitor can 'clock in' at the village's Pen-y-Ghent cafe and take on the challenge of the Three Peaks walk! A wonderful Three Peaks cottage for a holiday in the Dales.
Horton-in-Ribblesdale sits in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and has a lovely Norman church and two pubs. The surrounding countryside is magnificent, offering the ideal location for fell walking, with the famous Three Peaks Walk, Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough offering some of the most challenging walks in the country. The Settle-Carlisle Railway passes through the village and passes some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. The nearby town of Settle offers a wide variety of pubs and restaurants whilst the market square features the Shambles, an historic 3-storey building with shops on two levels and houses above, and the Town Hall.

The accommodation was very roomy and spotlessly clean. Everything you could need was there in the house. The garden was lovely as well. We would definitely stay in this house again.

Comfy bed and sofa. Also good value for money. Cleanliness could be improved in the living room, as don't have pets. The rug needs a clean and also sofa needs a proper wipe over. Under the rug on the wooden floor was dirty. Especially as I have a 4 year old and a 4 month old. Everywhere else in the cottage was clean. The whole cottage was nice and tidy. One the the third first steps is damaged which is a danger need repairing ASAP.

If I could suggest a washing line that would have been ideal . Running and walking the fells meant a lot of washing was generated and the weather was lovely . Thatâs just a tiny thing and certainly wouldnât want to be negative as itâs a super cottage .
